Of course, the host plants I've got differ from the host plants you've got so we'd probably be seeing a different sampling of the usual suspects for Travis County. There are more of those than I thought there'd be. More on that soon!TexasDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214888876514137890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859291696897577217.post-67356964070484199362014-05-03T01:03:17.239-05:002014-05-03T01:03:17.239-05:00Great idea.

I might run into plants I don't know anywhere in our area (aka in my own beds), but local bugs are pretty much common to all. <br /><br />In other words I'm both competitive AND lazy.

I have a good friend who is a botanist and she once told me that she thinks she was interested in botany because the plants just "sit" there and don't move! I think that may describe me as well. I've enjoyed your photos--admire the clarity and your patience in achieving them. I think I need to follow your example, relax and spend time with t he crawlers and flyers--they deserve our attention!

It sounds more refined. Ahem! Family: Now hear this - I am NOT obsessed, I am simply pursuing the gifts of literacy.<br /><br />They are beautiful, aren't they? I can (and do) watch them for hours.TexasDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214888876514137890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859291696897577217.post-82403197513361683852014-05-01T07:36:02.750-05:002014-05-01T07:36:02.750-05:00Polite and I think it is also a kind of literacy w...Polite and I think it is also a kind of literacy with all the gifts of being a literate person: knowledge, a skill and the opportunity to play. Thanks for getting the shots and naming them because they are all new to me.<br /><br />It helps that they are beautiful. The Reakirt's Blue looks a bit like lace. I actually saw a Checkered White the other day and thought it was a bit like negative image of the forester moth but had no luck trying to look it up. (thanks!) I am really drawn to the color in the Orange Sulphur. Pretty. And of course the lovely ladybug on the yellow is like candy. <br /><br />(happy sigh) I love coming over here.
